The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has granted administrative bail to former Group Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, NNPCL, Mele Kyari.
Kyari, who is under investigation for alleged $7.2 billion fraud linked to refinery maintenance, had submitted himself to the anti-graft agency on Wednesday.
He was interrogated by EFCC officials as part of the ongoing probe into the alleged misappropriation of funds.
Earlier, the Federal High Court in Abuja ordered the temporary freezing of four bank accounts allegedly linked to Kyari. The order was issued by Justice Emeka Nwite following an ex parte motion filed by the EFCC.
